Subacute subdural hematomas are among the least diagnosed group among subdural hematomas. Subacute subdural hematomas, defined as isodense on computed tomography examinations, are considered as bleeding hasting for one to three weeks. Although clinical findings are not sudden onset similar to acute subdural hematoma cases, they have a more progressive course compared to chronic subdural hematoma cases.
